Hi, im trying to first insert a node in the xml file and save it.

XmlDocument mDoc = new XmlDocument();
mDoc.Load("struct.xml");


XmlNode singleNode;
XmlNode newNode = mDoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "page", "");
XmlAttribute mAttr = mDoc.CreateAttribute("id");


singleNode = mDoc.SelectSingleNode("//page[@id=\"" + pageid.Value +
"\"]");

if (singleNode == null)
{
Response.Write("no node found");
return;
}


mAttr.Value = "100";
newNode.Attributes.Append(mAttr);

mDoc.DocumentElement.InsertAfter(newNode, singleNode);

i do find the node with ID number 3 and can retrive it contents, but i cant
insert a new node after it.
Here is the xml file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<home>
<page name="Test1" id="1">
<page name="Pagetest1" id="2" src="test1.htm"></page>
<page name="pagetest3" id="3" src="test2.htm"></page>
</page>
<page name="Test2" id="4" src="test1.htm">
<page name="Test23" id="7" src="test1.htm">
<page name="pagetest1" id="10" src="test1.htm"></page>
</page>
<page name="Pagetest1" id="5" src="test1.htm"></page>
<page name="pagetest2" id="6" src="test1.htm"></page>
</page>
</home>

The error message i am getting is:
Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: The reference node is not a
child of this node.

Source Error:

Line 67: newNode.Attributes.Append(mAttr);

Line 68:

Line 69: mDoc.DocumentElement.InsertAfter(newNode, singleNode);



Second question is, how do i delete a node ex. the node with ID nr 3? what
will happen if i delete node with id number 7?

Use
singleNode.ParentNode.InsertAfter(newNode, singleNode);
You always have to call AppendChild or InsertAfter or InsertBefore on
the new parent node where you want to append or insert the new child.

Select the node using some DOM or XPath approach (e.g. SelectSingleNode)
then do
node.ParentNode.RemoveChild(node)
